Vengeful, spiteful and fickle. Do these words describe you here or in real life?

And do you behave differently with the so-called anonimity of the internet?

Vengeful sometimes, usually just in my mind. I have some kind of truthful behavior code in my brain so I don’t behave differently. Besides I’d forget who I was each time.
No. I’m a pretty nice person in real life and on here. Who I portray myself as on here is really who I am.
I don’t think those words fit me here or in real life. I’m the same in real life as I am here. I don’t see the point in being two different people or behaving differently in one or the other.
Just you wait, Enry Iggins, just you wait! I shall have my vengeance yet, and it will be sweeeet! I do not suffer those who diss me. I shall vent my spleen, and they’ll know not to mess with me again! Unless I change my mind. I’ll do anything for my friends. I am loyal as the day is long. Just beware of the next day ;-)
Just ask anyone who knows me. They’ll tell you the same. ;-)
Not at all. I am the opposite of all of those. No I do not respond any differently on line than in person. I am a strong believer in what goes around, comes around, so I try to be fair with everyone I encounter.
Not. At. All.
I behave here as I do IRL. What does being spiteful, fickle or vengeful give you but eventual grief?
None of those words fit my Internet self or who I am on the other side of the screen. However, this is my perception and I realized that (potentially) makes it an incredibly biased one. I am, to a degree, different online than I am offline, though I am unsure how to explain the differences.
No. I am a happy, upbeat, extroverted personality, very mentally/emotionally stable.
Negative emotions are poison, and reflective of someone who has a lot of work to do,
To be honest i’m a little reserved online, well i am at the minute till i get into the swing of things. I have a great sense of humour and love a giggle, hopefully Fluther will get to see that side of me too :)
I may be fickle, but never vengeful or spiteful. I yam who I yam, here as in real life.
I am not any of those but I have/had a fluther mate whom I thought was a friend and we would pm back and forth, a little joke, camaraderie, it was nice. Then suddenly this person stopped pming and is acting, I guess spiteful comes close to the mark. I wonder why and one of these days will ask outright, but in the meantime, if you happen to read this, and you know who you are, I would like to know why our friendship has changed. I have searched my brain and can’t think of anything I have said to offend??????
Yeah, those describe me both here and in real life. Just add drunk to the list.
Those words describe the polar opposite of me. I yam what I yam! Both online IRL or wherever. I know of no other way…...yes i’m genuinely this *stoopid folks!! Who’d a thunk it eh? :¬)
I don’t think I am any of those. If someone pisses me off to the point of wanting to hurt them, I don’t think my words on the internet would be any different than in real life but not vengeful and spiteful and all those. I would just tell you that you pissed me off and then give you a good ol’ Hank Hill a** whoopin. Or try at least lol.
I do think most people act a bit different when they’re Anon.
I say stuff on here that I might not say to other people but I think thats life in general. You have to be able to communicate differently with different people. I could come up to my black friend and say certain things that a black stranger would probably beat me for!
I don’t use anonymity to be different than who I am, e.g. act ugly, troll or get nasty. But I do say things on the internet that I wouldn’t want everyone to see.
I would like to think that none of those words describe me. I usually try to be a nice person but I have been told that I can be spiteful at times so I guess in real life, I could be a bit spiteful.
Fickle, in terms of hobbies and interests that keep my atention (I have a tendency towards ADD that way). But I have never been vengeful or spiteful. Not since I was about eight, anyway.
